Gilbert told an Associated Press reporter he is not nervous about his sentencing date in a few weeks. Arenas could go to jail.

"If the judge goes off with the story the papers write, then, yeah," Arenas said. "But if he goes off the actual real story, then I have no problems with it."

When it comes to playing basketball again, Arenas is apparently a nervous wreck. In this month's ESPN the Magazine, a new column by anonymous NBA star "NBA Player X" claims Arenas is very afraid about not being able to play in the NBA.

"I think this Arenas situation scared a lot of players. But I'm not sure if it will change much. The phone number the NBA gives us to call if we're struggling with alcohol and other things isn't going to start ringing off the hook. Thing is, this wasn't the first time Gilbert messed up. The NBA told him to chill a couple years ago, but I don't think he took it seriously. Word around the league is that he's at home freaking out, calling the NBA every five minutes to fix things, afraid it all might disappear."
